FIFA Clemency: Ball in Lions’ Court (24.05.2004)
Cameroonians are once more at ease. Fears of their darling team missing out on the 2006 World Cup and African Cup of Nations have ebbed away following the unanimous decision by delegates at the Centennial Congress of the world football governing body, FIFA, to revoke some of the sanctions meted on the Indomitable Lions by its disciplinary committee on April 16, 2004 and confirmed by the Appeal Committee on May 12, 2004. According to FIFA President, Joseph Sepp Blatter, only the FIFA Congress could grant such an exception. The six-point deduction from Cameroon`s 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification table was lifted. The exceptional pardon, decided with the unanimous approval of the 201 member associations of FIFA, does not however affect the financial penalty of some CFA 80 million that the Cameroon Football Association, FECAFOOT, would have to pay.
FIFA’s decision was the out come of a clemency request made by the General Assembly of the Confederation of African Football, CAF. In effect, during the CAF Extraordinary Congress of last Wednesday May 19 in Paris, France, the 52 members of the congress put forth a request that FIFA President, Joseph Sepp Blatter, grant a presidential pardon to lift Cameroon`s six-point penalty. Last Friday, during the second and last meeting of the Centennial Congress, Sepp Blatter proposed, on behalf of the FIFA Executive Committee, to the member associations of FIFA that this request be granted "in honour of FIFA`s Centennial, for the good of the game, for Africa and the good of the global football family". The President`s proposal was unanimously approved by the Congress
enabling Cameroon to begin the qualification process for the 2006 FIFA World Cup with a clean slate.
The news was received in Cameroon with great joy. It couldn’t have been otherwise. In effect, since the announcement, last April 16, of FIFA’s sanctions against the Lions for putting on an unorthodox one-piece jersey during the quarter-final encounter against Nigeria at the African Cup of Nations in Tunisia, Cameroonians have been in total despair. The Minister of Youth and Sports, Siegfried David Etame Massoma, in a press declaration shortly after the announcement of the decision in Paris, thanked FIFA for lifting their six-point sanction. "The government and the people of Cameroon are very grateful for FIFA’s decision to lift the sanction on the Indomitable Lions," the Minister said. He urged the Cameroon Football Federation, FECAFOOT, to be more responsible and not to disobey FIFA’s orders in the future. The Minister thanked the Confederation of African Football whose intervention was laudable and all those countries that supported Cameroon during these difficult times.
The FIFA pardon effectively restores Cameroon`s hope of a place in the 2006 World Cup campaign billed for Germany, where Africa would be fielding five teams. Cameroon, the only African nation to have featured five times at the World Cup finals, will compete against Egypt, Côte d’Ivoire, Libya, Sudan and Benin for the group’s sole ticket to the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany. The Indomitable Lions start their campaign on June 6 in Yaounde against Benin. To many Cameroonians, the ball is now in the court of the Indomitable Lions.
